Stop and Go

Sometimes it is so hard to stop.

It's hard to stop getting frustrated
It's hard to stop trying to please everyone
It's hard to stop expecting too much from people
It's hard to stop sinning
It's hard to stop talking
It's hard to stop eating unhealthy
It's hard to stop drinking coffee
It's hard to stop drinking coke
It's hard to stop trying to be perfect
It's hard to stop ...

Because I feel I have to go

I have to go work
I have to go be the best
I have to go meet expectations
I have to go please others
I have to go excercise
I have to go be a great husband
I have to go be a great dad
I have to go be a great worship leader
I have to go be a great pastor
I have to go ...

The problem is I can get so lost over the choices that I make when One choice, the choice to follow Jesus Christ, puts life into focus. Once I am focused it's not hard to stop and I don't have to go, I just choose to be. I choose to be who Jesus Christ has called me to be.

What is hard for you to stop? Where do you feel you have to go? Who are you called to be? Where will your choice lie?
